The Lenovo Legion Tab 3 is the Best Alternative to an iPad Mini Right Now

While Android tablets are undoubtedly powerful and impressive these days, there was a time when buying a premium Android-powered slate meant that you didn’t have to sacrifice size and portability for performance. Fast-forward to today, and Apple’s iPad Mini line has pretty much dominated the premium compact tablet segment, with most Android brands opting to release low-end devices with smaller screen sizes.

That all changes though with Lenovo’s Legion Tab Gen 3 – a performance-packed device under the Legion gaming brand, the Legion Tab 3 provides Android users with a very capable alternative to the iPad Mini with impressive hardware. Powering the tablet is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which while not the latest is nevertheless impressive as far as overall performance is concerned. It’s partnered with 12GB of RAM, which these days is enough to run pretty much any game on the Google Play Store, including emulators as well.

By comparison, other small Android tablets on the market right now come with rather basic specs, like Samsung’s Galaxy tab A9, Amazon’s Fire tablet lineup, and even Lenovo’s budget-friendly Tab M series. They’ll be enough for casual daily use, but they’re definitely not meant for performance outside media streaming or casual gaming.

In fact, the Legion Tab Gen 3 has apparently been selling rather well, with Lenovo struggling to keep up with buyer demand after selling out current stocks. With that in mind, some retailers still have kept the tablet in stock, although you have to be diligent when hunting one down.
